Habit refers to the behavior or practice that is often done without thinking. These following books are powerful when they are used to build habits you need to succeed.
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
The interesting thing about habits is that once we develop them, they go totally unnoticed in our day to day activities. You just do it. That’s a habit. The Power of Habit teaches you how to build better habits that serve you both in life and work.
The One Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan
One of the biggest reasons why most people fail to keep their New Year’s resolutions is that they set too many of them to begin with. The key to continuous success is actually simple: focus on one thing and see it through for long enough that you achieve your goals. Success is gained step by step. You must learn to walk before you run.
Meditations(《沉思录》)by Marcus Aurelius
This book was written over 1,800 years ago. Guess what The powerful rules, written in the second century, remain just as practical today. Marcus Aurelius was known for going for excellence with strong determination, which was built by way of habit.
30 Days—Change Your Habits, Change Your Life by Marc Reklau
The purpose of the book is to provide you with a 30 day challenge to build habits. What’s nice about this book is that it provides step by step instructions. The book encourages you to learn from and apply every single day. It’s easier to do that when you are reading one step every single day for the next 30 days. Of course, you can read them all in one sitting if you like.

B
He came to Britain,16, with a handful of qualifications, ￡5 in his pocket and the burning ambition. Thirty five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother, Bhikhu, own a drug company which does 234 million pounds’ worth of business each year. Together they are worth ￡280 million and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”.
It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities.”
In 1967,Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and ￡5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had the huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go, and that’s up—if there is a hunger in your stomach for success,” Vijay says. “My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.”
By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company. Vijay says, “I simply couldn’t have done it without him.” As he puts it, “Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.”
Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country what he has made on his own. “We hope we are model citizens and would like to remain so,” he says. “We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way.” His message for young people is to do the same: “Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal.”
4.What did Vijay possess when starting his business
A.￡280 million in cash.
B.A small drug company.
C.The title “Entrepreneur of the Year”.
D.Nothing but qualifications and ambition.
5.What is the recipe for Vijay’s success
A.His brother’s financial aid.
B.His identity of model citizens.
C.The perseverance in his goal.

6.Which can probably replace the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A.We share something in common.
B.We know each other inside out.
C.We count on each other in career.
D.We two together create fire and water.
7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.From Penniless to Millionaire
B.The Significance of Education
C.The Power of Deep Brotherhood
D.A Modest Successful Businessman
C
Everyone has a different idea about what achieving success involves. For some, they want to lose weight. For others, they desire to build a business that creates financial freedom.
Whatever success means to you, it has probably shaped you over the years by the images you see of people in creating success for themselves. Social media has millions of daily users that are sharing information about their life and business. You see their stories of success and wins. It’s not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those. As a matter of fact, we can’t see the whole picture when someone shares his/her wins. In other words, we get caught in the comparison trap which can weaken the success seekers. If you’re going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to stop chasing a false image of success.
The Internet and social media have created a culture in which individuals can instantly get a sense of satisfaction with themselves. You post an achievement, and immediate praise follows. That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience it often. The vanity(虚荣心) causes false decisions about what’s going on in someone’s life. If your image of success is this vanity driven false one, your looking into someone else’s success journey is a surface level glance. You can’t base what you do and the decisions you make on the little bit you see.
A smart strategy is that when you see success, model it and use what you see from others as motivation. But don’t let a surface level image be your driving force towards your goals. A false image of success has held you back for far too long. Let the false images of success come and go. After all, attitudes drive actions. Actions drive results. Results drive lifestyles.
8.What is the common practice of successful people
A.They are always shaped by other people’s success.
B.They often compare their success with others’.
C.They don’t mention their hard work for success.
D.They’d like to share their advantages over others.

A.By copying it with great ambition.
B.By creating an image of our own success.
C.By motivating ourselves to achieve our goals.
D.By making comparisons to find out our shortcomings.

A.We can seek success in different ways.
B.We should not chase a false image of success.
C.We can turn our goals into reality on our own.
D.We’d better not make a decision based on social media.
D
Ever since Donald Trump was elected president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under the microscope. In China, the spotlight(聚光灯) has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family. She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she gets where she is by herself.
There are always articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you. Are you a loser if you are raised in an ordinary family Should you feel guilty at sleeping for eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps for five hours
If you just want to keep a stable nine to five job, does it mean you are not ambitious What if you don’t work out or eat healthily Does that mean you will not find your Mr or Miss Right There is a tendency in the media nowadays to encourage elitism(精英主义). They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should put a huge amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement(提升)so as to improve the quality of their life and join the elite. But what’s the disadvantage of being of average quality Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac(狂人) Do you really need to break your neck to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to be accepted into high society later
Don’t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to live the life they want. Human beings should not be judged a success or failure on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people’s shadows Choose your own life path and go for it.

Four differences between successful people and you
The truth is that any successful individual is flesh and blood just like you. They are not born miracles, but it’s the small differences that help them stick out from the rest.　16　.
Ordinary people talk about other people. Successful people talk about ideas.
Gossiping and bagging others are popular among ordinary folks. 　17　. What successful people do is discuss various ideas that could improve their lives.
Ordinary people complain about life. 　18　.
The fact is that everybody experiences difficulties. Both people at the bottom and the ones at the top struggle with something. You can’t control the obstacles life throws at you, but you can control the way you react to them. Whereas ordinary folks simply wish life was easier, successful individuals accept the way it is and find an alternative path.
Ordinary people let their thoughts influence them. Successful people influence their thoughts.
　19　. Many people let them dictate their lives. On the contrary, outstanding people are conscious of the impact their thoughts have, so they influence their thinking to make it work for, and not against them.
Ordinary people cannot say no. Successful people often say no.
　20　. But then again, considering the long term view, it’s better to say “no” now, rather than regret the subsequent consequences of saying “yes”. You have to say “no” to bad eating habits and so on, and then you can say “yes” to being more healthy. The successful individual takes advantage of saying “no” on a daily basis, while the ordinary one underestimates(低估) the power of this seemingly simple word.
A.Successful people never complain about life.
B.Successful people adapt to what life throws at them.
C.From a short term perspective, saying “no” can be scary.
D.Everyone has doubts and negative thoughts once in a while.
E.Many people may have some very brilliant thoughts sometimes.
F.So, what are the key aspects that differentiate them from the crowd
G.They just can’t help but talk about people, often with a vein of jealousy.

　　阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One weekend in August, Daniel and his father drove five hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. On the way, unfortunately, his father received a phone call from Daniel’s teacher saying Daniel had broken the school rules, and then he started to criticize(批评)Daniel. By the time they reached the lake, Daniel was so angry that he said to his father, “I’m going to find a better place for us to camp” and walked away alone.
With no path to follow, Daniel just walked on for quite a long time. After he had climbed to a high place, he turned around, hoping to see the lake. To his surprise, he saw nothing but the forest and a snow capped mountain. He suddenly realized that he was lost.
“Dad! Mom! Dad! Mom!...” he cried. “Help! Help me!...”
No reply. If only he had not left his mobile phone in that bag with his father. Daniel kept moving, but the farther he walked, the more confused he became. As night was beginning to fall, Daniel was so tired that he had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Daniel said to himself, “Hadn’t I walked away angrily, I wouldn’t be trapped in this awful place, faced with the danger of dying.” He regretted it with endless anxiety, and then became asleep with tears in his eyes.
Daniel rose at the break of day, hungry and thirsty. He could hear water trickling(滴落)somewhere in the distance. Quickly he followed the sound to a stream. To his great joy, he saw some apple trees. He ate some. Never in his life had he tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now, Daniel began to walk along the stream and hoped it would lead him to the lake.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
As he walked along the stream carefully,Daniel heard a strange sound in the distance.
Paragraph 2:
It was early in the morning when Daniel woke up.

　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了船长沙克尔顿所带领的船队在探险时遇到了危险,在沙克尔顿的坚持不懈和奉献之下大家最终得救了。
36.desperately　考查副词。修饰动词anticipated需要用副词,故填desperately。
37.To join　考查动词不定式。句子的谓语动词为hid,所以设空处用非谓语动词形式。根据句意可知,此处表达“为了加入探险队”,故用不定式作目的状语,故填To join。
38.stuck　考查过去分词。根据句意可知,主语Endurance和stick之间为被动关系,故用“get+过去分词”表示被动,故填stuck。
39.where　考查定语从句。句意:后来,他们陷入了困境,他们一起挤在这个令人难受的地方的礁石岸上的一条船下。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,先行词为situation,表示抽象地点,设空处在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
40.leading　考查现在分词。句子的谓语动词为departed,所以设空处用非谓语动词形式。lead和其逻辑主语Shackleton之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语,故填leading。
41.with　考查介词。句意:尽管他们厌倦了所有的海洋生物的肉,但他们知道如果没有海洋生物,他们都会饿死。固定短语be bored with意为“对……厌倦”,故填with。
42.it　考查代词。句意见上一题。if it hadn’t been for sth.表示“如果不是……”,等同于“without/but for+sth.”,是含蓄虚拟语气,故填it。
mitment　考查名词。分析句子可知,此处为强调句型,强调的是主语。根据空前的perseverance and可知,此处应填名词,故填commitment。
44.painful　考查形容词。根据空前的slow but可知此处填形容词作定语,与slow并列修饰名词death,故填painful。
45.was considered　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据全文时态及at that time可知,句子陈述过去发生的事情,要用一般过去时。主语是The expedition,与consider之间是被动关系,故填was considered。
第三部分　写作
第一节
One possible version:
Success depends on determination and hard work. This is what I learned from my classmate Li Ming.
Li Ming once took part in a big running race that is held in our city each year and failed to be the winner. However, this is not the end of the story. He was not discouraged but kept trying, spending almost all his spare time practicing for the big event. And his efforts finally paid off when he competed in the running race again and did become the winner.
Li Ming's story has taught me the value of determination and hard work. His success inspires me to overcome challenges that come my way as I pursue my goals in life.
第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
As he walked along the stream carefully, Daniel heard a strange sound in the distance. It was a helicopter. Daniel took off his white T shirt and waved to it. Unfortunately, the thick jungle hid everything. Daniel became disappointed and frustrated. It was getting dark again. Daniel, exhausted and scared, lay down near a stone, missing his parents in the distance. He couldn’t help crying and then fell asleep again.
Paragraph 2:
It was early in the morning when Daniel woke up. Weak as he was, he struggled to his feet, continuing searching for assistance. To his great joy, a helicopter was flying overhead on and on. He climbed to the mountain peak, waving his white T shirt with all his strength to attract the pilot’s attention. Luckily, the pilot found him and managed to hoist him into the helicopter. Feeling warm, he hugged his father tightly with tears in his eyes. Then he apologized to his parents for what he had done. From then on, he never broke the school rules again and he behaved well.
